SSP

Market cap $376M

CINCINNATI, Nov. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The E.W. Scripps Company's (NASDAQ: SSP) board of directors has approved the adoption of a limited-duration shareholder rights plan following the public disclosure of an unsolicited, non-binding acquisition proposal for the company.

U.S. broadcaster Sinclair has offered to buy E.W. Scripps in a cash-and-stock deal that values its smaller rival at $538 million, as cord-cutting and competition from streaming services lead to consolidation in the media industry.

Scripps said it will carefully review and evaluate the proposal.

The FCC has moved to loosen restrictions on local TV ownership, and remove caps on how many TV stations one company can own, which could pave the way for a Sinclair-Scripps merger

Sinclair is eyeing a takeover of its local media rival, but Scripps may not be ready to sell just yet.
